A Preemptive Strike!

Amazon has officially patented a new gift exchange system for their website. Instead of wasting the money to ship a present, that the intended recipient may not want, the recipient can instead convert the present to an Amazon credit. Recipients can also opt to only receive a certain amount of one "thing." For instance, if you put three necklaces on your wish list, but you only really want one, you can specify to have only one shipped and the others converted to gift certificates.

I'm not sure if this is genius or if this is the start of many, many family arguments.
